Former Bears running back Cedric Benson proclaimed his innocence from the beginning. The Texas court system ruled in his favor Thursday. According to defense attorney Sam Bassett, two Travis County grand juries found no probable cause to indict Benson for the two alcohol-related arrests in Texas that led to his release from the Bears.

"I hope that this situation reminds us all that not every person who is arrested for a crime is guilty."

Benson took issue with critics he believes have jumped to conclusions without knowing facts of the incident, including Bears General Manager Jerry Angelo.

Todd Reesing could easily use this as a time to gloat. This is the perfect chance for him to take a shot at all the schools that thought he was too slow or too short to play quarterback in college.

Because if those schools would have expressed interest, he might have missed out on all the fun he's having leading the turnaround at Kansas. "There's no redemption or trying to get revenge on someone," Reesing said.

A female passenger on Cedric Benson's boat Saturday night in Austin, Texas, was concerned enough about his safety after police took him into custody to phone her parents and urge them to call 911, the Tribune has learned.
